Behind-The-Books Blog

Working in book publishing and in open plan office, it is natural that at some point in the week (possibly day) we will talk about a cover to a book – one of ours or one from another publisher. Exactly how we might end up talking about a particular cover may vary… It could be because we are discussing design and comparing various looks, praising a particular cover we’ve fallen in love with… or, like today, it could come up randomly in conversation.

Me (Chiara): Guess who I spotted on Platform 2 at the North Terminal at Gatwick on Sunday, on my way back home from Madrid?

Girls in unison:Who?

Me: Richard and Judy!

Susie:Great spot!

Me: Yes, Richard was looking quite dapper in a white blazer. If only I had my copy of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet with me, I could have offered it to them as a wonderful holiday read… (I’m sure Richard and Judy have nightmares about being chased by publisists.)
